Cousin Ida, I am so sorry for your loss. I am very glad though that you and your Ray of Sunshine had the time together that you had. Though I never met him personally I know he was a wonderful person because he made you so happy. If you need me I am just a phone call away. Love, Paula

My precious love has gone to be with the Lord and his loved ones he has been missing so deeply. My husband was the most wonderful man I had ever met and to have been blessed with his true love is something I never thought I would know. I thank God for the short time we had together and the honor of taking care of My Love in his time of need. My life will never be the same without him in it. But one day we will be together again I look forward to that day <3
